Ch. 741..750

Spoiled by Mr. Russell Chapter 741

Since that was the case, Lily could only think about having a studio of her own but could not take further action.

It was not until today that Lisa came looking for her for a customized order, along with the incident with the Perfumers’ Society, that Lily considered her plans more seriously.

After all the recent events, she thought of implementing her studio for the first time.

However, Alexander had done everything for her.

Lily stopped the spoon in her hand, looked up at Alexander, and said severely, "Thank you for all of this!"

Perhaps her tone was so severe that Alexander was stunned fora moment.

Seeing her eyes full of gratitude, he could not help but smirk.He caressed her hair, saying, "You're spouting nonsense again."

"It's not nonsense! It's the truth!"

With a sigh, Lily continued, "You have no idea.After meeting Lisa today, I thought about building myself a studio.I was thinking about where it should be, how much it would cost, and whether or not you would agree.I never even mentioned it to you."

"Ultimately, it was all just thoughts.I didn't expect you to have already arranged everything for me.I..."

The ups and downs of her mood were indescribable, and she sometimes felt that Alexander was the noblest person she had ever met.She was fortunate to meet Alexander and be with him for the rest of their lives.

Whenever she felt he was good enough and could not get any better, he would always surprise her again.

"You're my wife, silly.If I don’t do it for you, who will?"

Alexander smiled and pinched her cheek.

"Come on! I thought you liked this dessert.Let's go home after we finish."

"We're still going home?"

Blinking, she looked at the time.It was already very late.

"What else do you want to do? Do you want to stay here for the night? Although I arranged a bedroom for you here, nothing's inside yet.I can be your pillow if you want to stay here tonight."

Alexander opened his arms and went to hold her.

Lily blushed.She stretched her arm and pushed him gently, "Nope! I don’t want a hard pillow."

"Really?"

Alexander said meaningfully, "You think I'm hard right now? Where?"

Lily knew she had fallen into his trap and did not answer—instead, she heard him continue, "Even though you think I’m a hard pillow, you still hug me tightly every night."

"I won’t tell you where you’re hard, so you can’t hold it against me!"

Lily stood up and packed her empty dessert box.

If Alexander’s subordinates saw their CEO like this, they would be shocked.

Recalling the press conference that day, Rose was jealous and looked at Lily as if she was the devil.

That situation was quite funny.

"Speaking of which, I'm quitting on the company's side."

Now that Lily had this studio, she could resign from the company.

"you don't have to leave.The company has already decided to make a brand for you alone, and it's always easier to do things with the La Beauté Group name."

Alexander took the garbage from her and threw it into the trash can.

"I'll even arrange for a janitor to come here and clean up every day."

"Since it’s going to be my own studio, I shouldn't take up the company's resources."

After a pause, Lily turned to look at Alexander.She removed a wet tissue from her pocket and slowly wiped his fingers for him.

"What you gave me today is a gift, but the company’s resources belong to the company.We must have a line between personal and company assets.I will treat you as a stake in this studio, and if we make money later, I will give you dividends."

When Lily raised her eyes to look at Alexander, his brows and eyes curled from his smiling.

Still, his earlier tone did not sound like he was joking.

Alexander knew her temperament, so he did not argue.

Instead, he smiled, saying, "Okay, I'll wait for you to share the profits then."

Spoiled by Mr. Russell Chapter 742

The studio's significant arrangements were made, and only minor concerns remained, such as hiring staff and procuring raw materials.

Olivia will, of course, come along with her.

At first, Jenny wanted to be on her team, but Lily turned her down since Jenny's new position as Rebirth's supervisor increased her likelihood of being promoted.

She could do more at La Beauté Group and be given more opportunities, but she would be limited to doing the bare minimum in the studio.

There wouldn’t be too much business initially, and Jenny couldn’t contribute much to technical work.

It would be better if she stayed in that company and only joined the studio when its business improved.

Since she understood Lily’s persuasive reasoning, Jenny nodded.

"If you need help in the future, just let me know."

There was no need to quit her job at the company in a rush, but Lily submitted her resignation letter anyway.

The higher-ups were shocked to receive it, and the letter was redirected from Rebirth to La Beauté Group, then from its HR department to the CEO’s office.

Considering everyone knew who she was, nobody dared to accept her resignation.

"Mr.Russell?"

Rose knocked on the door and entered with the letter, struggling to find the right words.

"Mr.Russell, this..."

Taking a step forward, she placed the resignation letter on his desk and stepped aside immediately, wondering what her boss would think.

‘Has Ms.Christian told the CEO about her resignation? She’s been doing fine at La Beauté Group, so why is she resigning suddenly after the press conference? Leaving after the controversy was already resolved is puzzling"

"Yes?"

Raising his eyebrows, Alexander gently flipped the letter open with his fingers and skimmed through it.

Studying his expression, Rose said carefully, "This is a resignation letter from Lily Christian.The HR department awaits your instruction."

Curling his lips, he let out a gentle smile.

The HR department did not dare to approve the resignation and was now asking for his permission.He told Lily he could settle it himself, but she insisted on resigning according to the standard procedure.

Taking his pen, he quickly put his signature on the resignation letter.

"You may leave now."

Rose was speechless.

‘I didn’t expect everything would go so smoothly.The boss didn’t even get upset!’ Alexander saw her holding the letter without leaving and asked, "Is there anything else?"

"Nothing."

Shaking her head, Rose bit her lower lip and asked, despite herself, "It’s just that, why would Ms.Christian want to resign now? Wasn’t the trouble resolved? Is it about the Perfumers ' Society? The company would handle it, which shouldn't be a big deal."

It was not just about a practicing certificate, as it was not compulsory to own one in this industry.

If they must take the matter to court, there were many loopholes they could use.

Therefore, compared with the "poisoning" incident, La Beauté Group saw this as trivial.

"She has her own plans.If you're curious, ask her yourself."

Giving a vague answer with a meaningful smile, he waved her off.

"Go."

Spoiled by Mr. Russell Chapter 743

Rose was stunned because her boss smiled meaningfully at that.

‘Did it mean something was going on or was it just a sweet smile? Also, it’s hard not to wonder about the plans Lily’s supposed to have.

What could they be?’ Rose arrived at the HR department carrying the resignation letter and many unanswered questions.

"Mr.Russell approved it?"

The HR employees were surprised.

"Looks like Mr.Russell knew about this, and they talked about it."

"Still, things were looking up for Lily, and the company was planning to make her the chief perfumer.Why quit now? What for?"

"What's so great about being a chief perfumer? Didn’t you guys forget that she’s the future wife of our CEO?"

Someone interjected.

"Oh, yeah! That means Lily has quit the job to marry him, then?"

Since it was a slow day at the HR department and this titillating gossip involved their boss, everyone felt compelled to join in.

Someone raised her hand and said, "Oh, please! I’m telling you, according to the rumor I’ve heard, Mr.Russell and Ms.Christian already got their marriage certificate in secret.The wedding ceremony means nothing.It’s possible that she’s already pregnant, so she wishes to go home and rest."

"For real? This is good stuff!"

Rose was so shocked that she hardly moved a step.She was a trained secretary, so she knew it was improper to gossip about her boss.

However, she could not help but listen in on the discussions around her.

"I don’t know if it’s real, but I think it’s very plausible.Just imagine how cozy your life will get as our boss’ wife.

Why bother to work hard? Just think.

Ever since Ms.Christian joined Rebirth, there has been one controversy after another, and the news about her just keeps getting more explosive.

Now that the Perfumers’ Society wishes to put her under investigation, she might as well save herself the trouble and quit her job."

The theory rang through most of them, who nodded almost in unison.

"You’re right! If I were her, I’d resign too."

"Keep dreaming! We’re not born to be the wives of CEOs."

"Rose, what’s with you? Don’t tell Mr.Russell what we said, okay?"

Seeing her in a daze, someone nudged her and asked in a panic.

Catching herself, Rose smiled.

"Hey.If you’re that worried, then do less chatting and get to work.We should work harder since we were not born to be CEOs' wives, right?"

She turned and headed out.She had no idea that workplace gossip always spread the fastest.

The rumor that ‘Lily has quit because she’s pregnant’ spread around the company in less than 24 hours.

"what?"

When Lily heard about the rumor, she was having tea in Jenny’s office while waiting for updates about her resignation.

The resignation process was supposed to be simple.

Once the supervisor approved it, Mr.Will from Rebirth would approve, seeing that she was just a new employee there.

However, her resignation letter was passed to the higher-ups due to who she was, and she waited in the office for almost half a day.

"where did the rumor start?"

Having learned that her resignation had been approved, Lily stretched herself and was about to take a sip of tea when she heard about the gossip.

Jenny eyed Lily’s tummy meaningfully.

"Are you really..."

Spoiled by Mr. Russell Chapter 744

"That’s horsesh*t!"

She shot Jenny a glare and slapped her tummy with both hands.

"Do I look pregnant to you?"

"Hey, not your tummy!"

Hurrying over to stop Lily’s hands, Jenny touched her belly.

"Still rather flat.If you’re pregnant, I’ll say it’s not past three months."

Finding it both hilarious and frustrating, Lily pulled Jenny’s hands off.

"Well, I’m not! I had my period last month.How can I be pregnant for three months?"

"What about this month, then?" Jenny asked half-jokingly.

"The month’s not even over..."

Lily thought back to when she last had her period and realized it had been over a month.She usually ignored her periods, and since she had been so preoccupied recently, she had just forgotten about this one.

After being reminded, Lily realized she had missed this month's period.

Jenny guessed what was going on based on Lily’s face and crouched down, nervous for her.

"Why? You’re not really pregnant, are you?"

"How can it be possible?"

She laughed, although it rang a little false.

"I must’ ve had too much pressure, and my period is just late.I’m not pregnant."

"It’s hard to say.If your periods have always been punctual but not this time, you better take note.There’s no certainty as to when we'll get pregnant."

"No!"

Shaking her head, Lily claimed confidently, "No f*cking way!"

"Why not? Unless you’ve never had s*x!"

Lily blushed at this question.

"Let’s not talk about it, okay?"

"Hey, I’m not trying to pry into your private matters, but if there’s a possibility, you should have a checkup to make sure.You deal with scents and essential oils, which contain chemicals besides natural ingredients.Even if they are raw materials, I’m sure some of them are not suitable for a pregnant woman to take in over a long period, right?"

Jenny looked serious.

"Although I’ve never given birth, my sister had.She also reminded me to be extra careful with the stuff we often encounter."

Speechless, Lily grew a bit nervous now.She knew that Jenny was right that some of the stuff they handled were not suitable fora pregnant woman to handle.

However, was she really pregnant? She started to panic, not knowing the answer.

"Still, it’s a good thing if you get pregnant so that you can get some rest for yourself and your baby."

Jenny added, "There’s no hurry concerning your studio.Just take your time."

Her suggestion appeared simple, but Lily doubted it was.

Lily could not give up on her studio just when it was getting off the ground.She had promised Lisa to create a themed series, too.

If she got pregnant now, wouldn’t she need to break her promise?

"Now that my resignation has been approved, I’ll head back then."

Having no mood to stay and enjoy her tea, Lily got to her feet.

"Jen, I should get going.Come over to the studio whenever you're free.I'll send you the address later."

"Please.Spare me your courtesy, okay?"

Shaking her head, Jenny asked in concern, "If you’re worried, have a checkup at the hospital.At least you can prepare yourself once you know for sure."

Spoiled by Mr. Russell Chapter 745

Lily was worried.

Although it was hard to be sure with matters like these, she knew what had happened.She and Alexander had s*x twice without safety, presumably during her safe period.

Thinking back, Lily felt a chill down her spine.

As Lily drove, she looked up and saw the hospital gate.She had driven over here in a daze.

However, having reached here, she hesitated to go in for a checkup.

As Lily lingered, the cars behind her honked, and she could only drive into the compound.

Unable to find a parking space, Lily hesitated again and drove out after making another round.

She found a pharmacy nearby and went in but dared not ask for a pregnancy test kit.

The pharmacy assistant had grown accustomed to these situations, so they asked if Lily needed family planning supplies.

Only then did Lily hesitantly ask for a pregnancy test.

Alexander had yet to return by the time Lily reached home.

The afternoon sun shone through the window, but she felt a chill as she stared at the two lines on her pregnancy test.

According to the instruction leaflet, Lily was pregnant.

She did not expect the rumor to become a reality.She stood there and studied the two lines on the stick Although one was barely showing, it was visible.

According to the instruction leaflet, even if the two lines were unclear, it would still mean that the person was pregnant.

Lily did not know how to react.

It was not that she did not want the child, but she was not ready for it.

It all happened so suddenly.

If she decided to keep the child, she would have to give up a lot.

However, if she decided not to...

She touched her tummy gently as if she was already feeling a new life inside her.

This was hers and Alexander’s child.

Would she bear to let it go? Lily heard a car outside, looked downstairs, and noticed it was Alexander’s.

She collected herself, hurried to the bathroom, wrapped the pregnancy test with some paper, and threw it into the trash can.

Thinking it was not enough, she crumpled two more pieces of paper and tossed them in.

By the time she was washing her hands, she could already hear footsteps approaching upstairs.

"I’m back early."

Alexander headed over with open arms and pulled Lily into his embrace.

"Well, you are."

Feeling stiff, Lily opened her arms and allowed her husband to hold her.

"what's wrong?"

Alexander held Lily and realized her body was unusually stiff.

He opened his eyes to look at her.

"What’s the matter? Are you not feeling well?"

"N-No."

Lily shook her head and lowered her gaze.

"Perhaps I haven’t moved much, and my joints have gotten rusty or something."

As if to make her point, she moved her arms, shoulders, and neck.

"Oh, yeah?"

Alexander touched Lily’s forehead suspiciously and felt that her temperature was normal.

He thought she had overworked herself when he saw her stretching her neck and shoulders.

"Now that you’ve resigned, why don’t you take some rest for the time being? You can take things slowly with the studio.It’s not going anywhere," Alexander gently massaged his wife’s shoulders as he spoke.

Spoiled by Mr. Russell Chapter 746

Upon hearing him saying, "take things slowly,"

Lily exclaimed in reflex.

"No! I can’t take things slowly."

Stunned by her overaction, Alexander grew suspicious.

"What’s the matter?"

"N-Nothing."

Lily shook her head and dared not tell him about her pregnancy as she had not decided what to do.

"Maybe I’m just feeling lost after resigning.I thought there was nothing to miss about the job, but my time at Rebirth was the happiest I’ve ever been since I started working."

She meant what she said.

All her colleagues at Rebirth treated her well.

Even though Jenny initially made things difficult for her, the two became good friends after Lily proved herself.

The truth was that after leaving the no-good Nathaniel, she had discovered a whole new world and realized she should have left him much earlier.

"That's it?"

Lily was earnest, but Alexander was still somewhat suspicious, as her reaction just now was a bit odd.

"That’s it."

She wrapped her arms around his neck and emphasized every word.

She continued, "Also, it all happened because of you.Every time I look back and think about it, I’m always grateful that I looked for your help in my toughest moments.I’m also grateful that you were always willing to help me.Although I have no idea why you helped me then, you’re...my savior!"

Lily gazed sincerely at her husband.She finally said what she had always thought.

Still, she never expected to say those things out loud under this circumstance.

"You have no idea why I helped you?"

Alexander held her face with one hand and caressed her soft hair with his other.

"It’s because I’ve always liked you since long ago."

"B*shit!"

Lily snorted, not believing him.

‘A long time ago? We didn’t even know each other back then, and he might have only seen me once at the Best Newcomer Competition.It couldn’t be love at first sight, could it?’

"It’s the truth.You don’t buy it?"

Alexander squeezed her face gently to emphasize that he was not joking.

Lily blinked and asked, "When was it? Don’t tell me it was when I first joined the Best Newcomer Competition and that it was love at first sight for you.I’ll make fun of you if it is, got it?"

Lily did not know much during that time, as it was her first time participating in a competition.

Even though she won the award, she made a fool of herself in the later competition.

As the CEO of La Beauté Group, Alexander must have seen all types of outstanding people, and it was unlikely Lily would capture his attention.

"It wasn’t then."

Alexander shook his head and continued, "It was earlier than that."

"Earlier?"

Lily was surprised as she had no recollection of them meeting before that.

"When was it? I don’t remember.All I remember is that I first met you at the..."

"At the Russel family’s house,"

Alexander paused before adding, "More specifically, it was my family’s old house."

"y-Your family's old house? I wonder when I’ve been there before."

Lily was even more surprised, feeling as if someone or something had taken part of her memories away.

"You were probably too young, so you might not remember.Still, what matters is that I remember you."

Alexander pressed his forehead against hers and did not care if Lily did not remember it.

It was enough that he had not lost her, and they were still together.

"No, I was already nine and was still with the Lodge family.It’s unlikely I can’t remember stuff from back then.Could it be earlier than that?"

Lily was so surprised by it that she needed a clear answer.

Spoiled by Mr. Russell Chapter 747

"Was it seven?"

Alexander hesitated before speaking again, "You should have been around seven years old at that time?"

He could only guess based on his own age, but he was not entirely sure.

However, he was sure of one thing.

"You came with your parents back then."

"My parents..."

The term had become a thing of the past for Lily.She could barely remember her parents’ faces now.

"I have no recollection of it." she shook her head and felt frustrated.

She felt saddened for not being able to remember what her parents looked like and for her vague and almost nonexistent memories.

After her parents passed away, she suffered such a massive blow that she had not remembered much of her past.

Her grandfather told her it was better to forget so that she could move on.

However, it was natural for her to feel sad for having lost part of her memories that she could never recall, no matter how hard she tried.

"If I was only seven, then how old were you? It's too early for puppy love, don’t you think? Or should I say a secret crush?"

After some thought, she asked, "Wait, I was only seven.You wouldn’t have fallen for a seven-year-old child, would you?"

"What are you talking about?"

Alexander flicked Lily’s forehead and chuckled.

"You were an adorable little girl with a radiant smile and..."

He stared at her face, reached his hand over, and pinched her soft cheek.

"...a chubby face."

Lily yelped in surprise as her husband suddenly pinched her.She slapped his hand and asked curiously despite herself.

"Then what? Since you remember my parents, what were we doing visiting your old house?"

"It was my grandmother’s birthday, and you guys came to the party, I think."

Unlike her, Alexander seemed unwilling to recall the past.

"It’s been too long.I can’t remember much."

Lily vaguely sensed that it was not that Alexander could not remember but was reluctant to do so instead.

As to the reason, Alexander did not explain.

However, she understood that everyone had a past they would not like to discuss, so she did not pursue the matter.

"A new batch of equipment will arrive at the studio tomorrow.Are you able to handle it being so busy?" Alexander asked, concerned.

"Yes, of course."

Lily nodded hurriedly but grew nervous again, thinking about the two lines on the pregnancy test.

Lily did not want him to notice her nervousness, so she yawned.

"I must have gotten too tired lately.I’m getting sleepy now."

"Then go and sleep."

Alexander did not suspect anything and nodded.

"I have to handle something, so you go ahead and sleep without me, okay?"

"Why? You think I’m a child?"

Lily pushed his shoulders from behind.

"Go do your things.I’m hitting the sack."

Alexander turned around at the doorway after Lily nudged him forward.He lowered his head and kissed her forehead.

"Be a good girl, okay?"

Warmed by his actions, Lily purred.

"Okay."

She gazed at his departing back and heaved a relieved sigh.She helplessly touched her tummy and wondered what to do about the child.

Spoiled by Mr. Russell Chapter 748

Damian smirked smugly as the production line churned out finely packaged perfumes one after the other.

They would then enter the market and bring in loads of cash, yet his reward would be much more than this.

It was relatively easy to make money, after all.

His father warned him that running a business was difficult and that he needed to be cautious and learn more.

From how he saw it, though, the old man could not keep up with the times and was too conservative.

If he dared to try, things were not that hard.

The person in charge at the factory reported to him, "Mr.Damian, this batch of perfumes will be ready in another week and could be launched then."

Nodding his head, he said, "Good job! You'll all share the credit at the launch."

"Thank you, Mr.Damian."

"Oh, yes, has Mr.Hall come around here lately?" Damian asked as the thought popped into his head.

"No, he hasn’t."

The person in charge let out a sigh.

"Since the production started, Mr.Hall has not been here even once.He did call twice to give some instructions and ask about the progress, but that's it."

"He hasn't shown up even once?"

Raising his voice, Damian looked upset and snorted coldly.

"He sure knows how to relax, doesn’t he?"

‘oh, Nathaniel Hall, you talk a good game but only know how to laze around.Do you have an experience like the industry’s top players? More like the experience of a slacker"

Then Damian thought, ‘Still, it’s better this way.When the time comes to take the credit, he would have no business in it, and I might be able to kick him out.What if he’s a spy sent by Arianna, pretending to be loyal to me? No matter what, I don’t trust her.When I take control of the company, I’ll have to replace the staff with my followers"

"Perhaps he’s too busy."

Not wanting to offend anyone, the person in charge smiled.

"As for you, Mr.Damian, you've always worked hard and come to monitor the progress often."

"This is an important project, and we can’t afford anything to go wrong.Of course, I’ll have to keep an eye on it."

Pausing for a moment, he walked to the door and looked back.

"Oh, yes, get me one bottle of it."

"yes!"

The man quickly instructed someone to package a bottle and bring it over.

Damian picked up the bottle of fragrance and examined it.

"All right.I'll get going."

He left with the perfume and headed straight for his mother’s residence, a house he had lived in for nearly twenty years before recently moving in with the Tanner family.

Damian had always lived with his mother up until that point.

The house had a lovely setting within the villa community, but it was no match for the lavish mansion of the Tanner family.

The mansion was where all the important people lived, and he always felt ashamed about staying outside it.

The atmosphere at home was less than ideal.

Damian had guessed it before he even entered.He put on a smile anyway and headed in.

"Mom?"

There was no one in the living area, and he found Elizabeth in her bedroom, where she lounged lazily in bed.

Instead of getting excited to see him, she greeted him with a flat, "You’re back."

"Mom, are you not feeling well?"

He sat by the bed and reached over to touch her forehead.Her temperature was normal.

At his hand's touch, tears welled in Elizabeth’s eyes as she put on a miserable look.

"Oh, Damian, you’re the only one who still cares about me.I thought that even you didn’t want me anymore."

Damian was speechless.

Spoiled by Mr. Russell Chapter 749

"How could it be, Mom? Am I not here to see you?"

He wanted to get up, but Elizabeth tightly held onto his wrist.

"Don’t go! If you’re gone, I would have nothing." Damian frowned.

"Mom, I’m not leaving.I’m just going to get you a glass of water.Your lips are so dry that they’ re flaking."

Elizabeth touched her lips and realized they were dehydrated.She sighed.

"Flaking? Who would give a d*mn even if my lips start bleeding?"

"Mom, don’t say it like that.Do I not care about you? Dad too!"

"your dad? Please!"

She snorted, still looking upset.

"After all these years, all he does is pay us lip service.Deep down, he only cares about that woman."

"You're just upset, Mom."

Filling up a glass of water, he handed it to her and helped her to sit up.

While she sipped the water, Damian said, "You've been with Dad for so many years.I’m sure you know how he feels about you.Besides, from my perspective, Dad still loves you."

"He loves me, yet he couldn’t bear to part with 10 million dollars and gave my necklace to someone else?"

Saddened, she stopped drinking and placed the glass aside.

Judging from her reaction, Damian knew she was still angry and tried to coax her.

"It’s about the necklace, huh?"

"See! Even you know about it.Imagine what other people say about this.I-I’ve never felt so disgraced in my life!"

Burying her face into her hands, she didn’t dare to watch the news for the past two days.She didn’t even check what was trending on Twitter for fear that she would see people making fun of her.

In fact, to avoid the sneering looks of others, she had not picked up her calls and stopped hanging out with her friends.

"You’re overthinking!"

He pulled her hands off her face with a smile.

"I’ve not heard anyone making fun of you or talking behind you.It’s just a necklace.Do you care about it so much?"

"What do you know? I’ve set my mind on it for a long time, even from the time the auction promoted it."

"Well, you still can get another piece of jewelry instead of it, right? Or you only wanted the necklace for the rest of your life and nothing else?"

Caught speechless for a moment, Elizabeth quickly retorted, "Of course not! One necklace is not enough."

"There you go!"

Damian laughed.

"Look, one necklace is never enough, and you know that.Mom, very soon, the Tanner Corporation would be ours.When that happens, you can get as many necklaces as you want to the envy of others.There’s no need to get impatient."

Hearing this, Elizabeth grew calmer.

"Are you sure you can make that happen?"

"Hey, don’t you believe in me? I’m your son!" Damian said, feigning an angry look.

Seeing him angry, Elizabeth yielded.

"Damian, I believe you, but...well, as long as you believe you can do it.I’ve suffered all my life, and my only wish is that you’ll be somebody.I'll stop worrying if you can head the Tanner family."

"Mom, don’t worry.It’s going to happen soon.When the company becomes mine, I'll move you in with the Tanner family.You'll be the family's matriarch then, and you can keep that woman as a maid or kick her out!"

What he said struck a chord with Elizabeth.

She nodded.

"You’re right! Then, we’ll be the ones pushing her around."

"Oh, Mom, I’ve brought a gift for you."

He patted her hand and turned to pull out the perfume bottle from his briefcase.

"This is my first creation.This perfume will soon be launched internationally and become a top seller worldwide.I’ve brought one here just for you."

"Really?"

Hearing this, Elizabeth suddenly perked up.

Spoiled by Mr. Russell Chapter 750

Elizabeth took the perfume and gave it a look.

"It looks great!"

She took the bottle out from its packaging and sprayed some perfume onto her wrist.

"What do you think?" Damian asked smilingly, ready to receive her praises.

Elizabeth took a deep breath and nodded.

"It smells great! Truly great! It’s the best perfume I’ve ever used.You did a marvelous job!"

With his mother acknowledging the product, Damian grew even more confident.

"This is why I asked you to wait for my good news."

Elizabeth was happy, too.

With a smile, she sprayed two more times to fill the air with the fragrance.She closed her eyes with her head tilted upward and took in the scent.

Damian looked on quietly.

To him, he was witnessing the start of a beautiful future.

"Hmm..."

Elizabeth sniffed and frowned.She took another sniff.

"What’s the matter?"

Seeing his mother’s unusual reaction, Damian asked hurriedly.

"Nothing.I just feel it’s a bit weird."

She sniffed the scent again as if making sure.

"What's weird about it?"

He curiously followed suit and inhaled deeply.

The scent rushed into his nose and caused him to sneeze a few times.

"Damian, take it in slowly!" She said, waving her hands.

"Mom, what’s so weird about it?"

He rubbed his nose.

Shaking her head, Elizabeth said, "I’ve no idea.It’s just a feeling, and I can’t describe it."

She picked up the bottle of perfume to study it.

The light blue liquid looked terrific, and the bottle was exquisitely designed.

She could not tell what was wrong with it.She used perfume often but was not an expert on it.

However, as it was a gift from her son, she was still very pleased.

"Never mind that.Perhaps that’s the smell of success."

"The smell of success?"

"That’s right! You will succeed after both of us have suffered for so many years.Of course, it’s the smell of success.Oh, yes, what’s the name of the perfume?"

Damian looked at the perfume in her hand and chuckled.

"It’s called Victory!"

"victory?"

"yes! The perfume signifies the victory and success achieved by me and by us.That’s a perfect name for it!"

Elizabeth repeated the name twice and nodded.

"I like the name!"

"Me too! Mom, you’re right.This is the smell of success."

He tilted his head up and took a deep breath.The scent was intoxicating, and he knew victory was right ahead.
